Have you heard of Chen Binqiang in Zhejiang Province? Over the past six years, he has taken care of his mother who got Alzheimer’s disease.

Chen’s mother, 64-year-old Chen Yueguang, has been ill since 2007. The illness became very serious quickly and she has lost the ability to speak and can not look after herself. None of Chen’s other family members, however, could take care of their sick mother. Chen’s father died in a traffic accident when he was eight, his two sisters married far away and his wife has a 92-year-old grandmother to look after. 

Chen taught Chinese in Central School of Lengshui town, which is about 30 kilometers away from his home in Pan’an. So he spent five days at school and only went home on weekends. When he said he would take his mother to work, even his wife was doubtful and worried. She really doesn’t think it is a good idea for him to take care of his mother in school. She worries what if he lost his job because of this.

But Chen has made the decision. Soon he was putting a safety hat onto his mother’s head and helping her sit on his electric bike’s back seat. He thinks that his mother used to take him around and now he should take her.

These days, things got a little easier for him. With the help of Pan’an government, Chen got a new job in Pan’an Middle School in October 2012. The new school is only five minutes’ ride from his home, which means he can take care of his mother more conveniently.

Chen feels happiest when his mother is looking at him. She must have forgotten who he is, and she even can’t call his name. But she surely knows that Chen is kind to her. He feels that is enough.

On February 19^th, 2013, Chen got the prize for Touching China, held by China Central Television to honor those whose performances have moved the people.

窗前的树

张抗抗

我的窗前有一棵树。

那是一棵高大的洋槐。树冠差不多可达六层的楼顶。粗壮的树干与三层的阳台相齐，碧绿而茂密的树叶部分正对着我的四楼的窗户。

坐在我的书桌前，一树浓阴收入眼底。从春到秋，由晨至夜，任是着意的或是不经意抬头，终是满眼的赏心悦目。

那树想必已生长了多年。我们还没搬来的时候，它就站立在这里了。或许，我还没出生的时候，它就已成为一棵树了。就因着它的缘故，我们曾真心希望能拥有这个单元的一扇窗。后来果真如愿，我们从此天天享受着它的清凉与恬静，便因此很是满足，很觉幸福。

洋槐在春天，似乎比其他的树都沉稳些。杨与柳都已翠叶青青，它才爆出米粒般大的嫩芽；只星星点点的一层隐绿，悄悄然决不喧哗。又过些日子，忽然就挂满了一串串葡萄似的花苞，又如一只只浅绿色的蜻蜒缀满树枝──当它张开翅膀跃跃欲飞时，薄薄的羽翼在春日温和的云朵下染织成一片耀眼的银色。那个清晨你会被一阵来自梦中的花香唤醒，那香味甘甜淡雅、撩人心脾却又若有若无。你寻着这馥郁走上阳台，你的身子为之一震，你的眼前为之一亮，顿时整个世界都因此灿烂而壮丽：满满的一树雪白，袅袅低垂，如瀑布倾泻四溅。银珠般的花瓣在清风中微微飘荡，花气熏人，人也陶醉。

便设法用手勾一串鲜嫩的槐花，一小朵一小朵地放进嘴里，如一个圣洁的吻，甜津津、凉丝丝的。轻轻地咽下，心也香了。

洋槐开花的日子，是我们的槐花节。

槐花开过，才知春是真的来了。铺在桌上的稿纸，便也文思灵动起来。那时的文字，就有了些许轻松。

夏的洋槐，巍巍然郁郁葱葱，一派的生机勃发。骄阳下如华盖蔽日，烈焰下送来阵阵清风。夏日常有雨，暴雨如注时，偏爱久久站在窗前看我的槐树──它任凭狂风将树冠刮得东歪西倒，满树的绿叶呼号犹如一头发怒的雄狮，它翻滚，它旋转，它战栗，它呻吟。曾有好几次我以为它会被风暴折断，闪电与雷鸣照亮黑暗的瞬间，却窥见它的树干始终岿然。大雨过后，它轻轻抖落树身的水珠，那一片片细碎光滑的叶子被雨水洗得发亮，饱含着水分，安祥而平静。

那个时刻我便为它幽幽地滋生出一种感动。自己的心似乎也变得干净而澄明。雨后清新的湿气萦绕书桌徘徊不去，我想这书桌会不会是用洋槐树木做成的呢？否则为何它负载着沉重的思维却依然结实有力。

洋槐伴我一春一夏的绿色，到秋天，艳阳在树顶涂出一抹金黄，不几日，窗前已是装点得金碧辉煌。秋风乍起，金色的槐树叶如雨纷纷飘落，我的思路便常常被树叶的沙沙声打断。我明白那是一种告别的方式。它们从不缠缠绵绵凄凄切切，它们只是痛痛快快利利索索地向我挥挥手连头也不回。它们离开了槐树就好比清除了衰老抛去了陈旧，是一个必然一种整合一次更新。它们一日日稀疏凋零，安然地沉入泥土，把自己还原给自己。它们需要休养生息，一如我需要忘却所有的陈词滥调而寻找新的开始。所以凝望这棵斑驳而残缺的树，我并不怎样觉得感伤和悲凉──我知道它们明年还会再回来。

冬天的洋槐便静静地沉默。它赤裸着全身一无遮挡，向我展示它的挺拔与骄傲。或许没人理会过它的存在，它活得孤独，却活得自信，活得潇洒。寒流摇撼它时，它黑色的枝条俨然如乐队指挥庄严的手臂，指挥着风的合奏。树叶落尽以后，树杈间露出一只褐色的鸟窝，肥硕的喜鹊啄着树枝喳喳欢叫，几只麻雀飞来飞去到我的阳台上寻食，偶尔还有乌鸦的黑影匆匆掠过，时喜时悲地营造出一派生命的气氛，使我常常猜测着鸟们的语言，也许是在提醒着我什么。雪后的槐树一身素裹银光璀璨，在阳光还未及融化它时，真不知是雪如槐花还是槐花如雪。

四季的洋槐树便如一幅幅不倦变幻的图画，镶入我窗口这巨大的画框。冬去春来，老槐衰而复荣、败而复兴，重新回来的是原来那棵老槐；可是，我知道它已不再是原来的那棵槐树了──它的每一片树叶、每一滴浆汁，都由新的细胞、新的物质构成。它是一棵新的老树。

年复一年，我已同我的洋槐度过了六个春秋。在我的一生中，我与槐树无言相对的时间将超过所有的人。这段漫长又真实的日子，槐树与我无声的对话，便构成一种神秘的默契。

小题1:. 文章的结尾作者说到，“这段漫长又真实的日子，槐树与我无声的对话，便构成一种神秘的默契。”举例说明这种“无声的对话”和“神秘的默契”体现在文中哪些语句上？（至少写两句）（2分）

又过些日子，忽然就挂满了一串串葡萄似的花苞，又如一只只浅绿色的蜻蜓缀满树枝──当它张开翅膀跃跃欲飞时，薄薄的羽翼在春日温和的云朵下染织成一片耀眼的银色。
